Bobrisky is released from Kirikiri prison 

Nigerian socialite and influencer Bobsrisky has officially been released from the Kirikiri Correctional Centre, where she was sentenced to spend six months in jail for her offence of naira abuse.

“Tami” duo leave Big Brother Naija in its first eviction show

The Big Brother Naija show, which began its season 9 “No Loose Guard” show on July 28, has had its first eviction of the show as the “Tami” duo, which comprises Toyisi and Damilola, have been evicted from the show.

Unfortunately, the duo, a partnership of two best friends, reached the end of their journey in the Big Brother Naija house as they were the first to be evicted from the show despite being part of the four pairs with the least votes.

Last week’s custodians, “NDINNE”, a duo of aunt and niece, used their power to save the “Radicals” duo and the remaining pairs were asked to vote out a pair, thereby ultimately leading to the eviction of “Tami”.

The new custodians of this week in the Big Brother house are the “Streeze” duo, which comprises Mayor Frosh and Toby Forge, as they won the custodian challenge.
